How to recover a damaged score?

I downloaded the xml score and imported it into Dorico,

but it is in this state.

How can I recover it?

If you can share the file, then you’ll get a definitive answer. As for now, it looks like there are a lot of slurs on one note out of shot, which causes the vertical spacing to go awry.

Also try Reset Appearance, and deleting any frame or system breaks.

It looks like you’ve got hundreds of slurs on top of each other. (That big vertical line of stuff.) Can you delete those?

How do I recover it? I want to do it myself

Start with checking the settings for xml import in Dorico, and clear them up in a way that Dorico is allowed to take care of most decisions. Then reimport. Better?
